If you can go Denso, just go with that regardless of reman or new. The ACDelco will probably be fine, too.
Pros: probably be fine
Replace the alternator. The battery light indicates the battery is not being charged (due to bad alternator), losing power steering is also a sign of bad alternator as it provides the power for it to function. O'Reilly battery test also confirms this as battery should read 13-14V if it's being charged by the alternator. Recommend going with OEM alternator or name branded aftermarket like Denso which is the OEM supplier for reliability reasons. This should fix most of your issues.
Pros: OEM or Denso recommended
Cons: battery not being charged
I was running APR coils and went back to OEM. That helped. So did going to the Denso 5750 plug and getting an EQT grounding kit.
Pros: helped with misfires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Your Denso alternator lasted 22+ years. It’s way better quality than cheap reman alternators out there.
Pros: better quality, long lasting
Cons: cheap reman alternatives
Vehicle:
Toyota
The DENSO spark plugs are 6 for $23 at walmart. These get great fuel economy , smooth idle, Great Power.
Pros: great fuel economy
Denso is what the comes on the car from factory and are cheap on rock auto thats what i replaced mine with and they work well i only put 2k miles on them so far though. The denso ones i pulled out looked like the original from 22 years ago
Pros: work well, cheap, original lasted long
Mileage: 3219 km
I called the dealership to see if they have an alternator for a 2002 is300. Crazy enough they still sale them! List price is $344 but you do get a discount from the core of the OEM alternator only. These alternators are reman but it’s from the dealership (actually denso) so it’ll have the quality to go with it. I ended paying $216 due to my employee discount on top of the core exchange.
Pros: quality to go with it
Vehicle:
Lexus
Purchase a new or remanufactured Denso or TYC alternator. Most others are a roll of the dice in terms of lasting longer than 12months.
Pros: lasting longer than 12months
Cons: roll of the dice
I tried Denso once. I took Denso’s out and replaced them with Denso’s. They ran for 500 miles and quit.
Cons: quit after 500 miles
Mileage: 500 km
